Letter to the Editor: Story of USS Liberty needs to be known

Back to Gallery

To dismiss the story of the USS Liberty is to call into question the morals of U.S. Navy seamen, senior U.S. Naval officers, and U.S. intelligence officials. Apparently, Max Buxbaum has no qualms about tarnishing the reputations of countless U.S. military veterans in his efforts to protect Israel from scrutiny, suggesting they are anti-Semitic and that they are lying. The evidence is overwhelming and compelling that the story of the USS Liberty, the sacrifice of our U.S. Navy veterans that day, and egregious actions of a so-called ally of the U.S. has never been fully told. Israel has been given a pass. Readers should be directed to the 2007 Chicago Tribune article, “New revelations in attack on American spy ship,” for a fuller accounting of the evidence.
